Space and Room Availability
There are certain times of the year when the hotel is particularly busy with conferences utilizing much of the hotel’s meeting space. These specific times include April, May, June, September, and October. If space is needed in the hotel during these times, it is suggested that arrangements be made as far in advance as possible. However, Temple will have last room availability.

There will also be some time periods where the hotel’s meeting and or guest rooms are fully committed. This may preclude the hotel from having space available for a Temple function. In these instances, they will offer alternate space and dates where they can accommodate the function.

Cancellation Policy and Fees
The DoubleTree Hotel Philadelphia will assess no penalty charge for cancellations provided they have at least sixty (60) days notice of cancellation. If they are given less than sixty (60) days notice and are unable to resell the space, they will assess a penalty charge, which will be 50% of the anticipated room revenue. If a unique situation occurs, resulting in cancellation, they will review their policy in light of the existing circumstances in order for the outcome to be a fair and equitable one for both parties.
